The Ancholme Users Group is an active partnership of river users, working together to understand each others needs and aspirations for the river. This forum is considered to work well because all the users are local to the area, and includes not only recreational users, but businesses, public bodies and others. This reflects the diversity of the community and the interest in this natural resource.
